Named the chamber’s Student of the Month, Sosa accepted a plaque and gift basket during a Thursday morning celebration in front of Chamber and PNG supporters at his high school’s lobby and library.
Sosa, a senor, is a member of the Port Neches-Grove High School student council, National Honor Society, baseball and football teams, among much more.
He’s also known for his talent with close-up magic, and he even pulled a trick Thursday for those attending, having a volunteer select a card before he ripped it, chewed it, swallowed it and had it reappear intact.
